"Young Master Chen, is the reason why the inside of this greenhouse is warm because of the existence of these lights and fires?"

Before Zhao Chen had time to speak, Wang Ben spoke first.

"That's not entirely true! Mr. Wang is only right about one thing. The growth of plants requires photosynthesis!"

Zhao Chen glanced at Wang Ben in surprise, how did this guy know?

"Photosynthesis? What is photosynthesis?"

Zulong looked around and saw that they were all crops he had never seen before!

"To put it simply, plants need light to grow! This greenhouse is opaque and the sun cannot come in, so we can only use firelight instead!"

Zhao Chen pointed to the dark shed above his head and said that when he signed in, the system only sent the grid layout of the shed.

But there was no plastic shed, so Zhao Chen had to use burlap instead. Unexpectedly, the effect was pretty good!

"Oh, Chen'er, you should tell me what these are!

I have never seen any of them! What is this red thing? "

Zulong oh-ohed twice, but he didn’t understand! He picked a fruit casually and said

"This is a tomato! You can eat it raw as a fruit, or you can eat it cooked!"

Zhao Chen glanced at it. Tomatoes were introduced more than 1,400 years later. It was normal for Zulong not to recognize them!

"Can you eat it just by biting it? Let me try it!"

When Zulong heard this, he rubbed it casually on his clothes and then bit it off.

"Hmm~ Sweet and sour! A lot of juice! Delicious! Delicious!"

Zulong took a small bite first, and then gnawed it with big mouthfuls.

After just a few breaths, a tomato the size of a fist was eaten.

"Young Master Chen, is this also a tomato? It's so small!"

Zhang Han pointed to another red fruit on the vine and said, he saw Zulong eating so deliciously.

Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Zhang Han were also very greedy, but Zulong didn't say anything, so they could only watch helplessly.

"Oh, that strawberry! It's a fruit! You can try it!"

Tomatoes and strawberries are next to each other, and the branches, leaves and vines are intertwined, as if they are growing on the same shelf.

In addition, both of these are bright red, which people of this era have never seen before, so it is normal to make a mistake!

"His Majesty...."

Zhang Han swallowed his saliva and looked at Zu Long with a pleading expression.

"This is my greenhouse! Just like my father, you are all my guests! Try it all!"

Before Zulong could speak, Zhao Chen picked a few strawberries from the vines.

I distributed this to everyone, and then ate another one. It was so sweet!

It just moistens my throat. After talking for a long time, my throat is about to smoke!

"Hmm~ Sweet! Sweeter than tomatoes! You all have a try!"

Zulong, who had tasted tomatoes, ate strawberries without hesitation

"Delicious! Very sweet!"

"It's so delicious! This is much better than plums!"

Under the leadership of Zu Long, the three people gave it a high evaluation after tasting it!

"Sir, this must be a fruit, right? Let me try it!"

After tasting the strawberries, Wang Ben's eyes came to another vine.

After picking a red and long crop, I would stuff it into my mouth.

According to his experience, whether it is tomatoes or strawberries

Or this unknown one on my hand, as long as it’s red, the taste will definitely be the same.

"Hey, goodbye! Mr. Wang, that one is spicy..."

"Ah!!! Water, water, water! Give me water!"

Zhao Chen looked at Wang Ben's movements and quickly stopped him!

But before he finished speaking, Wang Ben had already spoken!

Zhao Chen's eyelids twitched when he saw it, that's Xiaomijiao!

Eat like this? At this time, Wang Ben felt as if there was a ball of fire in his mouth!

My whole body seems to be very hot! He turned around and rushed out of the greenhouse, ran to the water tanker and took a gulp of water!

"Chen'er, what's wrong with Wang Ben?"

Zulong looked at Wang Ben's movements and asked in confusion.

Why not just taste some fruit! As for no, this performance seems to be on fire!

"What he ate just now was chili pepper, which is a kind of condiment! Most people will not chew it directly!

Leave him alone! Let’s continue shopping! "

Zhao Chen picked a millet pepper from the vine, waved it in front of Zulong and said

"Chili peppers? What are these? Weeds?"

Zulong took the pepper and originally planned to try it, but when he thought of Wang Ben, he decided not to give it a try.

He threw it to Meng Yi casually, pointed at the vines on the ground and said

"Father, these are not weeds! These are sweet potatoes!"

Zhao Chen pulled out the dagger from his boot, squatted on the ground, dug one out and handed it to Zu Long.

"Sweet potatoes? Can you eat even this lump of earth?"

Zu Long picked up the sweet potato and looked at it with a look of disgust. No matter how you looked at it, you couldn't eat it!

"can not eat!"

"Can't eat it? Can it be used as medicine?"

"It can't be used as medicine either!"

"It can't be eaten or used as medicine, so why are you growing it?"

Zu Long threw the lump of dirt in his hand on the ground. Was he too kind to Zhao Chen?

This kid actually made fun of himself!

"Father, I said you can't eat it because it's not ripe yet! Unripe sweet potatoes don't taste good!"

Zhao Chen was speechless, Zu Long was really short-tempered!

As a big foodie, if something doesn’t taste good or doesn’t taste good, it means you can’t eat it!

But I didn’t care about the sweet potatoes on the ground. They had been dug out anyway and there was no point in planting them back!

"Isn't it ripe? Why are you digging it out if it's not ripe! After all, this is food! You kid!"

Zhao Chen ignored the sweet potatoes, but Zu Long bent down and picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground.

He said with a distressed look, in this era, the output of food is extremely low!

Although this sweet potato is not ripe, it is at least 3 ounces in weight, so it is just wasted!

"Father, isn't it just an unripe sweet potato? As for that!"

Zhao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, Zu Long was actually worried about a sweet potato!

As expected, being with you is like being with a tiger! Don’t you want Zulong to know what this kind of thing is?

"That's easy for you to say! Do you know what the grain output of our Daqin is?

The size of this sweet potato is equivalent to a meal for a Guizhou person! "

"I don't know what the grain output of Da Qin is! But Father, do you know what the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is?"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said with an indifferent expression.

"How many?"

Zulong frowned, how much could this be?

Fifty pounds? Or a hundred pounds? No amount of kilograms of food can be wasted!

"Two thousand catties? It should be two thousand catties!"

Zhao Chen thought for a long time and said, these sweet potatoes are the seeds given by the system last year.

This is the first batch planted. According to the instructions, the yield is so much!

But the difference is that the instructions say kilograms! Kilograms for posterity!

"How many!!!"

Zu Long roared in shock, while Meng Yi and Zhang Han behind him also stared with wide eyes.

Now Da Qin's grain yield per mu is as high as three to four hundred kilograms, but this sweet potato actually weighs two thousand kilograms! How can this be!

"Two, two thousand catties!"

Zhao Chen was so startled by Zu Long that he almost knelt down.

He stretched out two fingers and said weakly
